Yes i have that but the key turns the lock and nothing happens However i have found the issue now its the main fusable link under the red cover on the battery i have removed it got the plastic cover off and bridging both ends of the link restores full function, guess its off to the nearest...

So after a full day at the car and a test drive where a front brake seized on i removed all the coil packs replaced them with the middle two reversed order then i cleaned the earthpoint from the alternator bracket amd the earth point at the rear of the engine near the battery and went for a...

Ok so not fuel, pump pressure is steady at 3.5 bar and holds pressure for a good while 15 mins To check for a vacum leak can i use a gauge and a temp bung ? I have a vacumn gaugewhere would i check from ? Would a leak only show at high revs ? It ticks over nicely for hours with no...

Thanks for that im going to go through it tomorrow my bet is on the fuel pump or a blocked filter or injector. I changed the engine before it was laid up so the tensioner and chain is ok i suspect its gunge / rust in the tank getting through to the injectors or blocking the pump reducing the...

Hi My daughters micra has been stood for about a year i have just started looking at it re getting it back on the road and i have an issue i would like to put out to the collective The car starts well ticks over nicely and drives very well, for about a mile and a half, then a missfire starts...

I had this or something similar and although no expert try what I did unplug the maf sensor on the top of the plastic cam cover and if it runs better it's the maf sensor if that's the problem then I have some

Just an update Got a new maf sensor from a scrapper plugged it in and it now runs as sweet as a nut, plus I got to roam an old fashioned scrap yard for a morning so all round a great result Thanks for all the help on here

The original engine rattled like a bag of chisels on start up and kept cutting out also it had 120000 on it the new engine is a much lower milage and doesn't rattle and was cheaper than doing the timing chains, however the only sensors common to both engines are the MAF and the crankshaft...

Ok so an update fitted the engine got another alternator after dropping one on the floor and breaking the casing, now got the following codes and it won't rev above 2500 Codes P0113 intake air temp sensor 1 circuit high P0107 manifold absolute pressure barometric pressure circuit low input...

Just been out to the garage on closer inspection noticed a joint line arouind the crank end gave it a little tap and the large spigot came away revealing a smaller spigot underneath, which will enable the flywheel to fit Top man Frank ! Also no bearing so its unsupported but at least now it...

My daughter has an 03 K12 Petrol micra with terminal engine issues plus 120k on the clock so i opted for a 2nd hand engine from an internet supplier, now the engine is supposed to be low milage ( arnt they all ) and looks the part however having got the old engine and gearbox out of the car and...

Having just replaced the rotted sump and the knackered bottom arms and the misbehaving boot lock and the loose exhaust shields and the broken heater fan module, I now find that the dipstick tube on my daughters 03 k12 has come loose. I have looked but its hidden behind all sorts of things down...

R-Reg-R Ha! Ha! the last K11 I was involved with belonged to my mother and she wrote it off turning right at a crossroads, the K12 belongs to my Daughter and although we cant open the boot it turns right AND left at junctions so that has got to be an improvement :grinning: Back to the boot...
